"No. 79, Liming Street, Xicheng District"

It was another rainy afternoon. Qin Rang was holding an umbrella and holding a snack box in his hand. He followed the address given by Qi Qiu to find the house number and prepared to visit him.

The neighborhood is very quiet, with rows of cool buildings standing on both sides of the street, blending in with the gray rain curtain.

Everything looked lifeless and lifeless.

Until Qin Rang stopped in front of House No. 79, his action of ringing the doorbell suddenly froze, and his eyes suddenly widened——

Because he saw a beautiful silver-gray cat curled up under the eaves, snoozing comfortably at the moment.

The cat's lazy and comfortable appearance is incompatible with this depressing and humid neighborhood.

This was the first time he saw someone raising a cat after entering Miliu City. After all, in such a precarious existence, few people could spare time to take care of their pets.

The cat quickly noticed the person outside the door, but it was obviously not afraid of strangers.

It tilted its head in a condescending manner, narrowed its eyes and stared at the visitor like the owner of a house, then slowly stretched and stood up, meowed twice and walked calmly into the house.

Half a minute later, Qi Gu came out and opened the door for Qin.

"Good guy, how much does it cost to live in such a nice house and raise a cat?" Qin Rang followed Qi Qiu into the house and looked around curiously.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"A house? Of course!"

"I said my cat." Qi Jiu corrected with a slight dissatisfaction.

The little gray cat meowed twice in his arms in agreement.

Qin Rang: "Oh, that's right."

But the cat was indeed very cute. He couldn't help but look at the cat a few more times, but the cat turned away haughtily.

Qin Rang:......

He seems to be disgusted by the little animals. It seems that the little animals don't like his European and imperial physique.

Qi Qiu rubbed his face against Maomao's warm head affectionately, then turned to Qin Rang and said, "I came to you because I want to preview our next dungeon in advance."

Qin Rang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react: "Ah?"

He could understand every word of Qi Jiu's words, but when he understood them together, he was completely confused.

What does previewing the next dungeon mean? Qi Gu’s statement is as if he has already predicted the theme of his next dungeon in advance.

Qi Jiu smiled: "You promised to cooperate again on the phone, so we previewed it together."

Qin Rang was puzzled: "That's right, but how can you predict in advance which dungeon we are going to enter?"

"It's not a prediction, it's a bet," Qi Qiu replied, "Of course, it's a bet that involves manipulating the space gate, so don't worry too much."

Qi Jiu explained his "European Emperor Meng's Theory" again. Qin Rang was confused but felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately clapped his thigh and exclaimed.

"Next, I plan to enter this dungeon." Qi Jiu placed the card with the Blood Mist Hot Spring Hotel in front of Qin Rang.

Qin Rang picked up the card and looked at it carefully: "Hot spring theme?"

He turned over the card, and the restrictions and types of the copy were marked on the back of the card.

This is a highly flexible dungeon. There is no fixed number of travelers who can enter the dungeon. There is only an upper limit of 21 people. It will not be given a theme of "survive for seven days" like "Canned Rose Fish", but will allow travelers to go deep into it to search.

clues to explore the corresponding plot and task lines.

But even a novice like him understands that a high degree of freedom equals a high degree of difficulty, because without clarifying the goal, many explorations are in vain, and may even trigger greater crises, and sometimes even how to end them.

I don't know about the copy.

Just like free proposition essays are always more difficult to get high marks than proposition essays.

Qin Rang couldn't help but ask: "Why this copy? It doesn't look easy..."

He didn't believe that Qi Kui entered the hot spring for vacation.

"Yes, but I have an agreement with others. I need to enter this dungeon to get something." Passing the dungeon is a matter of risking his life, so Qi Jiu never hides his partner and leaves the decision to the other party, "

You can reconsider whether to cooperate. What I can promise is to provide you with clues and help as much as I can, just like the last one."

Qin Rang took a deep breath and said firmly: "Of course it's no problem if I'm with you."

He didn't feel offended by being regarded as a "tool man" because of his European physique. On the contrary, being able to study with Qi Qiu made him feel safe, even though the new boss had always been

Surviving on the extreme edge is as exciting as riding a roller coaster with a speed exceeding 200km/h. However, Qin Rang, who grew up in a family of businessmen, knows very well that when working with reliable people, huge risks can often bring huge gains.

, "Canned Rose Fish" is the best example.

"So what do we need to do now?" Qin Rang asked again. There was very little information on the card, and it was impossible to start the preview.

Qi Jiu was already prepared. He took out a hot spring promotion picture that he got from somewhere, and handed the pen and paper to Qin Rang: "We can first deduce the rules from the elements involved in the hot spring. If I were the copy designer

Travelers may design events such as drowning, boiling people in boiling water, and the infestation of unknown underwater creatures in hot spring themed dungeons. Due to the rules, travelers are unlikely to avoid hot springs throughout the process, so they must make plans to solve these problems in advance, such as

First learn swimming or anti-drowning props, cooling props, stealth props, etc. Combined with the ghost story style of this card, you must also prepare some props to deal with ghosts...Similarly, we can derive the rules and crises in advance based on the inference.

Purchase some props to be prepared."

Qi Jiu spoke very quickly but clearly, but Qin Rang was stunned for a moment. Qi Jiu asked him, "What's wrong?"

Qin Rang shook his head, looked at Qi Jiu in disbelief, and said in a half-joking tone: "No...were you really just a high school student before you came in? You are in a serious school, right? I even doubt that you learned how to pass the dungeon

, I made a copy of the design. To be honest, sometimes you make me feel just like the aborigines here."

Qi Jiuxiao: "I just have better adaptability, but..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence and stared at the blood mist hot spring pool on the promotional picture in trance.

Seeing that he was suddenly silent, Qin Rang asked quickly: "Is there something wrong?"

Qi Chu's eyes brightened slightly, and he slightly curved the corners of his lips and said, "I seem... to have found a way to avoid hot springs with a high probability."

He instantly overturned his previous conclusion that it was impossible to avoid hot spring baths all the way.

"There will definitely be a tourism industry if there are hot springs. If there are hotels, we can enter as applicants. This will not only avoid the hot spring bathing process, but also maybe get two sets of rules for travelers and employees." Qi Qiu explained.

Qin Rang: "How can we be sure that the hot spring hotel there is recruiting people?"

Qi Jiu: "Even if we don't recruit people, we can still promote ourselves so that the bosses can't help but recruit people."

Qin Rang: "Huh?"

Qi Juxiao: "First of all, we have to learn the art of 'eating'."

So in the next week, landlubber Qi Ku learned how to swim without a heater. He also bought several props at good prices through Ji Xiaoye's channels, one of which was called "The one that makes people tremble all over."

The "ice maker" prop only cost 15 coins, which was cheaper than a pack of cat food.

The merchant who sold him the props was also very happy. These useless prop cards have been in his hands for a long time. Now he is in short supply of survival coins and urgently needs to exchange them for survival days, so the price is easy to negotiate.

But the bad news is that all psychic props are expensive. Although Qi Jiu can afford it with grit, the price/performance ratio is not high overall.

In the end, the boss gave him a prop at the bottom of the box at a bargain price: "This "Ghost Lamp Detector" only costs 7 coins. It has no attack or defense against evil spirits, but it can simply and generally measure the number of resentful spirits around.

The more there are, the heavier the yin energy is, and the more powerful the will-o'-the-wisp will be lit from the ghost lamp."

Qi Jiu took this small skull-shaped "detector" in his hand with great interest and asked the boss: "In other words, he can convert ghost energy into fire energy?"

The first time he heard this outrageous statement, the boss was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true, so he nodded and said: "That's understandable. Anyway, it's pretty good for testing spiritual fields.

"

Qi Jiu took the little skull he liked and handed 7 coins to the boss: "Okay, deal done."

In addition to buying strange props, Qi Zhu also found an NPC who specializes in massage. After some hard talk, he finally convinced him to start a class to teach massage skills. Qi Zhu invited Qin Rang to spend 3 survival coins a day, and got up early every day to come and study diligently.

massage.

Less than half a month later, Qi Jiu, who had learned how to swim and massage, purchased two copy binding cards. He and Qin Rang each had one, wrote each other's names on the binding cards, and then contacted the system to open the copy at the same time.

A familiar voice rang in my ears——

[Dear traveler, welcome to enter the instance again]

[Please confirm whether the "bound card" is used]

"Confirm use."

[The bound card has officially taken effect]

[The copy is loading...]

The sound of rain outside the window gradually became fainter, the smell of moisture in the air also became lighter, and Qi Qiu's senses gradually became blurred until they were completely gone.

It's as if his existence has been eliminated in this city where it rains constantly.

[Dungeon mission: free exploration dungeon, the main mission will be triggered during the exploration process, so stay tuned]

[Copy Background: To be explored]

[Dungeon duration: no limit, travelers are advised to control it themselves]

The smell of industrial leather and gasoline filled the door between his nose. Qi Qiu struggled to open his eyes and found himself in the passenger seat of an off-road vehicle. The sky outside the window was dim and unclear. He could not tell the specific time period.
